4 John I?...Reverend John...Jacob... When Jacob was about six or seven years old, he lived briefly with his parents in Davidson County, Tennessee. Between 1787 and 1792 his family moved to Logan County, Kentucky. In 1797, the land the family lived on was apparently partitioned off to the newly-formed Warren County, and further references to him are in Warren County. The November 7, 1797, session of the Warren County Court assigned Jacob and his brother William, as well as quite a few other men, as hands to do some sort of work for the county. 9 On April 17, 1799, Jacob took advantage of the fact that military grant area South of the Green River in Logan County was opened up to the public. He had surveyed and then claimed 150 acres on the Muddy Creek. 10 In order to be eligible, he had to be over 21 years of age, have a family, and have lived on the land for one year. All of this may have been, well, exaggerated a bit. Since Jacob first appears on the tax rolls in 1801 (in Warren County, on land perhaps owned by his father originally), he most probably didn t turn 21 until then, so he would have been only 19 at the time of the land grant. Also, since Jacob married later in the year of the land grant, he may have been stretching the truth a bit on the family matter. Either that, or he may have had a prior marriage that we haven t yet discovered. Jacob married Sally Barker in Russellville, Logan County, Kentucky, on November 12, Jacob s brother William married a Barker woman, too. In 1801, Jacob s Warren County tax assessment increased from 0 acres to 25, while John Sr. s assessment dropped by 25 acres. Presumably John Sr. gave or sold the land to Jacob. In 1802 and 1803, Jacob was assessed for the 25 acres as well as for two horses and mares. The land had originally been entered and surveyed in the name of John Grammer. John Sr. s assessment increased again by 25 acres in 1804, and Jacob was missing on all Warren County tax lists from 1804 to Apparently John Sr. was once in possession of his 25 acres in Warren County. Jacob appeared on Logan County tax lists beginning in 1806, on the land from the South of Green River grant. In all cases, he was the only white male age 21 or older. He continues on the tax rolls through 1828, with the exception of 1811 and He wasn t listed on the census in 1810, either. This is the time period in which his brothers William and Senator John migrated to Illinois; perhaps Jacob went with them, stayed only briefly, and then returned to Kentucky? In 1822 Jacob is listed as having eight children ages 4-14 (by then, his two oldest children were married). He owned 2 horses in 1806, three horses by 1813, and 4 horses by From 1819 on, he owned only one horse. For all years, he was assessed for 150 acres on (B.) Muddy Creek/River (often noted as being entered in the name of D. McDaniel), except for 1821, where the location of the 150 acres is shown as on the Sandy Creek. The total value of his assessment increased from $275 in 9 Warren County Court Order Book A, March 17,1797-June 15, 1801, page 9 on the transcript, page 35 on the original. 10 Jillson, pages 7-8 and acres, Book 19, page Logan County, Kentucky Marriages, Originals destroyed by county in 1950s.

5 John I?...Reverend John...Jacob to $500 in 1823, then went back to $260 in The value again began to increase to $360 in The 1828 tax list is the last one that lists Jacob in Logan County, Kentucky. Jacob s land was apparently in the Hardison District of Logan County. 13 A John Grammer, age 21 or older, is listed in the Logan County tax list in 1825, with no land or horses. Presumably this is Jacob s son John, since he would have turned 21 around This John married Elizabeth Barker in Illinois in Jacob s brothers William and Senator John had moved to Southern Illinois by Jacob stayed in Kentucky until 1828, then followed his brothers to Illinois. Proof of this migration path follows: Jacob s son, Jacob Jr., listed his 1819 birthplace as Kentucky. 14 Probable daughters Senthy, Lucinda, and Elizabeth married in Logan County in 1824, 1827 and Jacob s last mention in Kentucky was on the 1828 Logan County tax list. Jacob s son John married Elizabeth Barker in Union County, Illinois in On May 23, 1829, Jacob and Sarah were received by letter into the Clear Creek Baptist Church in Jonesboro, Union County, Illinois. 15 Also received were Lucinda Whiteaker (Jacob and Sarah s daughter), Maryann Grammer (probably a daughter), and Elizabeth McGraw. 16 On January 30, 1830, Jacob wrote a note giving his daughter Sarah permission to marry George Dougherty in Union County, Illinois. 17 Jacob appears on the 1830 census in Union County, Illinois. Further records for Jacob are in Union County, Illinois, until his 1845 death. Jacob s note giving his daughter Sarah Sally permission to marry reads: To the Clerk of the County Comrs Court Union County Ill Sir, You are hearby authorised to give a marriage license for Jacob Trees & my Daughter Sarah Sally Grammer to marry She being a Minor and This shall be your voucher for so doing This 30 th Janry 1830 Jacob Grammer). 12 Value in 1828 is illegible. 13 Location per Lloyd Raymer, professional genealogist in Logan and Warren Counties, Kentucky. 14 UCI 1850 census #1154, 1860 census # Dexter, page Which Elizabeth McGraw? 17 Certificate #244, Robert Hargrave, J.P.

6 John I?...Reverend John...Jacob... Jacob Grammer s 1830 note giving permission for his daughter to marry. Jacob is listed in the 1830 census for Union County. 18 He was mentioned on a road survey on October 23, He also signed the petition requesting the road. In 1832, Jacob took the oath of office for coroner. His bond was signed by Jacob Treese, Senator John, John J. Grammer (son of William), John Barker, Sr. (Jacob s brother-in-law?), and Jonathon Ellis. 20 Jacob was either a plaintiff or a defendant in the April 1833 term of the Circuit Court of Johnson County, Illinois. 21 Also in 1833, Jacob, as coroner, was allowed $13.75 for holding an inquest over the body of the infant child living with Jeremiah Irven s family. 22 In 1834, he was reelected as coroner 23 and was allowed $4 for attending circuit court for four days at the October term. In 1835, he was allowed $15.25 for holding two inquests and summoning two juries. In 1836, he was re-elected for two years. This time his bond was signed by John Baltzel, John S. Hacker, and John Dougherty. 18 Page 57 on original, page 72 on microfilm. 19 Parks, page Index to the Union County Circuit Court Journals Chapman, page 270.

7 John I?...Reverend John...Jacob... On April 22, 1837, Jacob was cited for his long absence from services at the Clear Creek Baptist Church in Jonesboro. 24 Jacob was living near Senator John in In 1841, Jacob s wife Sarah, their daughter Mary Ann Dougherty, and Susanna Barker (related through Sarah s Barker line?) were cited by the church, with no cause listed. A month later, a church member reported that these three women intended to attend our church meetings as soon as they could. In 1844, Susanna Barker was excluded because of her long absence. On February 18, 1841, Jacob Grammer, then living in Union County, Illinois, granted power of attorney to Jesse Mansfield in Logan County, Kentucky. 26 This Jesse Mansfield was probably the Dr. J. Mansfield that married Elizabeth Grammer, presumably Jacob s daughter, in 1828 in Logan County. The document stated that Jacob reposed special trust and confidence in Jesse. John Grammer of Union County and William C. Whitlock [also of Union County] witnessed the power of attorney. The document granted Jesse power to manage 150 acres on the Big Muddy Creek, entered and surveyed by Daniel McDaniel (who sold it to Shadrack Green who sold it to Edm. Lee who sold it to Jacob Grammer). During 1843 and 1844, Jacob was serving as administrator of Joel Barker (presumably related to Jacob by marriage, through his wife, Sally Barker) 27. He took the heirs (Susan, John, Canada, Eleanor, and Louisa Barker, with only Susan, the widow, being of age) to court in a petition to sell real estate for payment of debts. In 1844, Jacob s final report was filed and approved by the court. 28 In 1843, Jacob was appointed commissioner of Dug Hill Road, District 43, for one year. He was also paid $1.50 for removing drifts from the bridge across Clear Creek. 29 Jacob s wife, presumably still Sally, apparently died soon before he did, since she was listed on one 1843 land transaction but was not mentioned in Jacob s 1845 will. Jacob bought 40 acres of public domain land in Union County for $50, but sold 160 acres in four parcels, for a total of $ I m not exactly sure how he managed this, but it s a good trick. Jacob died September 5, 1845, in Union County, Illinois. 31 Jacob s burial place has not yet turned up. He was most likely not buried on his own land, since it is a flat lowland subject to flooding. Jacob s will, filed September 11, 1845, stated: 24 Dexter, The Saga, Fall 1993, page UCI census, page Logan County Deed Book X, pages Get original estate documents to check relationship. 28 Index to the Union County Circuit Court Journals Union County Commissioners Books, Check original deeds.

8 John I?...Reverend John...Jacob... This being my last Will and testament, I bequeath my soul to the Lord, and mor further I appoint George Dougherty and Jacob Grammer my lawful representetives to settle my affairs and collect and pay all my debt, what is owing to me and what I owe, after my funeral expences and just dets is paid, I want George Dougherty to have the ballance of my estate, except my family Bible I gave to Jacob Grammer, also I put such confidence in the said George Dougherty and Jacob Grammer that they will settle my affairs without their giving any security to the probate court for the doing of it, I want Jacob Grammer to go after a debt due me in Kentucky, and after he gets it to settle all of my debts (if there is not property and debts due me here enough to do so) and the remainder of that debt after paying his expences out of the money to divide the same equally between himself and George Dougherty and if he is willing he may take the debt in property and divide the property between himself and George Dougherty, and if he dous not get the money or property he will have to pay his own expences and make no charge to my estate, if Jacob Grammer will not go after the debt in Kentucky by next christmans, if George Dougherty will go after it he may have the whole debt. I am willing that George Dougherty shal trade off any of or all my property here to pay any debts and take the ballance himself without the expences of appraisement or public sale of the same. In testimony whereof I have affixed my hand and seal this tenth day of June eighteen hundred and forty five in the presence of Wm. C. Whitlock Jacob Grammer (seal) Daniel Daugherty Margaret Whitlock The will in the file is a copy, not the original. Note that it made one small reference to the Lord, then gets straight to the point of disposing of the estate. Contrast this will with that of William, who seemed to be the most religious of the three brothers. The only other papers in the file show that George Dougherty (Jacob s son-in-law) and Jacob Grammer, Jr., were duly appointed executors and they paid a $200 bond. Apparently Jacob s wife was already dead at this time, since he made no provisions for a widow. Long after Jacob s death, on February 2, 1858, Jesse Mansfield (Jacob s presumed son-in-law) sold Jacob s Kentucky farm to Kissey Nelson for $ Several mentions throughout these two records refer to Jesse as an attorney, although we think he was actually a physician. Perhaps attorney was merely a figure of speech for someone who had power of attorney? It is interesting to note that Jesse was still referring to himself as Jacob s attorney in 1858 even though Jacob had been dead for 10 years. However, Jacob Jr. had been executor of Jacob Sr. s estate, so perhaps Jesse was still serving as attorney for a Jacob Grammer, just not the original Jacob Grammer. Or perhaps this sale was not on the up-and-up? Or perhaps this sale has some relationship to the debt in Kentucky that Jacob wanted Jacob Jr. to try to collect? In any case, why did Jesse and Jacob Jr. wait 13 years after Jacob Sr. s death to sell the land? Perhaps some of the family, even Jesse himself, was still living on the land? 32 Logan County Deed Book 35, page 594. Prepared by Penny McIntire (815)

9 John I?...Reverend John...Jacob... There are so many associations between William C. Whitlock (witness to Jacob s will) and Jacob that he many have been Jacob s son-in-law. Perhaps William s wife Margaret was yet another daughter of Jacob? Or perhaps he had an earlier wife that was Jacob s daughter? We have no other clues to this effect, though, so this is nothing more than speculation. In any case, here are the associations: The 1846 list of land owners in Union County, Illinois, shows that a William C. Whitlock (presumably the witness to Jacob s will) was in possession of 40 acres that was originally patented by Jacob. This appears to be the land that was sold to a Ballard in the interim. Check the disposition of this land In 1823, Whitlock bought land, 33 and the witneses were William and Hiram Tripp; William Tripp was William Grammer s son-in-law. In 1841 Wm. C. Whitlock witnessed a power of attorney for Jacob. In 1845, Wm. C. Whitlock and Margaret Whitlock witnessed Jacob s will. Other information about William C. Whitlock and his wife Margaret, which may (or may not) be relevant: William C. Whitlock married Mrs. (Elizabeth) 34 Margaret Quigley on July 28, 1844, in Union County. 35 There is no record in Union County of the original marriage for Margaret: she could have been a Grammer originally, but that seems unlikely, since she was supposedly born in 1805 in Missouri. It seems more likely that William s first wife was a Grammer. William C. was shown in the following censuses: 1830,1840,and 1850 (age 47, born Virginia.) In the 1850 census, his wife was Elizabeth (45, MO) and his children were James (22), Jonathan (13), Ophelia (18), Benjamin (17), Piety (10), Sarah (10), Date (4), Jefferson (2), and an unnamed baby (7 months). Only the last three appear to be Elizabeth s children; the older children would have been from William s first wife. Mrs. Elizabeth M(argaret) Whitlock married George Dougherty on June 15, 1854 in Union County. George s first wife is assumed to be a daughter of Jacob Grammer. William C. Whitlock and George Dougherty were next door neighbors (#944 and 945, respectively, on the 1850 census). In earlier years, they both lived fairly close to Jacob Grammer. Check land records to get name of William C. Whitlock s first wife. 33 Dexter, Early Courhouse Records..., page Elizabeth per Jackson's Marriages of Union County...", page Dexter, Marriage Records..., page 29. Prepared by Penny McIntire (815)

Jacob Grammer m. Sally Barker November 12, 1799, in Logan County, KY. The existing marriage records for Logan County consist of only a transcribed index; the originals were destroyed in The most complete index of these marriages was done by the Logan County Genealogical Society. UCI probate files, box number G-652 (not in index, found by Darrel Dexter). A Spring, 1991, article in the GSSI s Saga mentions that Jacob s administrator was George Dougherty. The article was about the Doughertys. I wrote the author, Ray Nicolaides (Rt. 3, Box 275, Crockett, TX on original, c/o Whitehall Nursing Home, P.O. Box 998, Crockett, TX as forwarding address) to see if he knows relationship between Jacob and the Doughertys, but apparently he is now in bad health, because his nurse replied that he did not remember writing the articles.

The family appeared on the 1830 Union County census but not on later ones. On November 3, 1835, the court case in which Cintha Ballard filed for divorce against Lewis Ballard was dismissed because neither one appeared in court. 47 In 1831, a L.J.W.

In 1825, John appeared for the first time on the Logan County, Kentucky, tax list, most likely because he would have just turned 21. By 1828, John had moved to Union County, Illinois, as proven by his marriage to Elizabeth Barker. It s interesting to note that John s mother s maiden name was Barker, just like his wife s. The Barkers of Kentucky (John H. s mother) and the Barkers of Southern Illinois are assumed to be of the same family, but I have not yet made any attempt to prove that. In 1831, John H. was fined $3 for assault and battery on the body of William Tripp, who was married to John H. s cousin. John H. testified in the 1842 suit against the estate of Patience Delaney, assumed to be his aunt. In 1843, John C. Griffen was fined $3 for assault and battery on John H. 57 John was a Sergeant in Company F of the Mexican War in John Hopper Grammer received a military land warrant for public domain land, apparently a result of this military service. The 1855 tax list for Union County lists John H. as having a total value of $2.04, state and county tax $.77. On February 20, 1861, the Union County Book of Estrays states that 49 Estimated from date John H. first appeared on Logan County, Kentucky, tax lists. 50 Parentage of a John H. from a) A John Grammer appearing on the Logan County tax list at the appropriate time for him to have been a coming-of-age son of Jacob Grammer, b) Jacob s family was the only known Grammer family in the area at the time, c) John H. turned up in Union County, Illinois, in 1828, about the same time that Jacob turned up there, d) three Johns of this generation appear concurrently in census records of UCI and Cape Girardeau, MO, of which John Joel is proven to be the son of William by William's probate file and John Jr. proven to be the son of Senator John by Senator John's probate file and matching of descendants in 1865 estate partitioning; e) leaving the remaining John to be the son of Jacob. 51 John s parents were living in Logan County at the time of his birth. Kentucky birthplace is verified by 1850 census and by 1880 census for John H. s son John A. 52 Marriage UCI by W.G?. Nimmo, J.P.

17 John H. Grammer found 4 heads of hogs 12 miles east of Jonesboro in T11, R1E. 59 This, however, doesn t agree with John s supposed death in 1855, per guardianship papers. Check this again.

19 4. Lucinda (GRAMMER) WHITAKER born ca Jacob and Sally (BARKER) GRAMMER 68 Logan County, Kentucky married March 8, Theopheles WHITAKER Logan County, Kentucky died Theopheles WHITAKER born married March 8, 1827 Lucinda GRAMMER Logan County, Kentucky died Lucinda and her husband moved to Illinois about the same time as her parents, because she was received by letter into Clear Creek Baptist Church, Jonesboro, Illinois, on May 23, On the same day, Jacob and Sarah Grammer were also received. However, there seems to be no mention of Theopheles in any Union County records (check probate), so either Theopheles died young, or he and Lucinda moved elsewhere. Note that in the 1860s, a Harmon Whitaker was executor for the estate of Sarah Sally Grammer, widow of Senator John. Also in his capacity as attorney, Harmon spent a great deal of his time representing the rambunctious Grammers in court. Union County census records show that Harmon was born around 1825, making him two or three years too old to have been Lucinda and Theopheles son. Other Whitakers appear to have been associated with the Grammers, too, appearing at estate sales, etc. See Bibliography for a complete listing of sources checked. Theopheles Whitaker probate in UCI? UCI censuses no listings, although there are quite a few other Whitakers in UCI, including Harman who was administrator of Sarah Sally (McGraw) Grammer s estate in Jackson County, Illinois, censuses no listings.

UCI guardianships, box 599, Parentage of Lucinda is based upon 1) the marriage of a Lucinda Grammer to a Theopheles Whitaker, Logan County, KY, March 8,1827, Book 1, page 63, page 97 in published listing; 2) the only known Grammer family in the area was Jacob's family; 3) a Lucinda Whiteaker was received by letter into the Clear Creek Baptist Church in Union County, Illinois, on the same day that Jacob and Sarah (recently migrated) were received; 4) the Grammers had close connections with Whitakers in Union County, Illinois, though none of the name Theopheles. 69 Logan County Genealogical Society.

20 5. Elizabeth (GRAMMER) MANSFIELD born ca Jacob and Sally (BARKER) GRAMMER 71 Logan County, Kentucky 72 married October 27, Dr. Jesse MANSFIELD Logan County, Kentucky died Between September 1, 1856, and April Dr. Jesse MANSFIELD born by married October 27, 1828 Elizabeth GRAMMER Logan County, Kentucky died after On February 18, 1841, Jacob Grammer, then living in Union County, Illinois, granted power of attorney to Jesse Mansfield in Logan County, Kentucky. 76 The document stated that Jacob reposed special trust and confidence in Jesse. John Grammer of Union County and William C. Whitlock [also of Union County] witnessed the power of attorney. The document granted Jesse power to manage 150 acres on the Big Muddy Creek, entered and surveyed by Daniel McDaniel (who sold it to Shadrack Green who sold it to Edm. Lee who sold it to Jacob Grammer). On Feb. 2, 1858, thirteen years after Jacob s death, Jesse sold the parcel of land to Kissey Nelson for $ Several mentions throughout these two records refer to Jesse as an attorney. Perhaps that was merely a figure of speech for someone who had power of attorney? It is interesting to note that Jesse was still referring to himself as Jacob s attorney in 1858 even though Jacob had been dead for 13 years. However, Jacob Jr. had been executor of Jacob Sr. s estate, so perhaps Jesse was still serving as attorney for a Jacob Grammer, just not the original Jacob Grammer. Or perhaps this sale was not on the up-and-up? And perhaps this has some relationship to the debt in Kentucky that Jacob wanted Jacob Jr. to try to collect? See Bibliography for a complete listing of sources checked UCI censuses no listings. On September 1, 1856, an Elizabeth Mansfield wrote her will in Warren County, Kentucky. 78 This appears not to be our Elizabeth, since we know that Jesse was still alive, and women rarely wrote a will under such circumstances. Still, I include it here in case it proves to be useful later: 70 Estimated from date of marriage. 71 Parentage of Elizabeth is based upon 1) the marriage of an Elizabeth Grammer to Dr. J. Mansfield in Logan County, Kentucky, in 1828; 2) the only known Grammer family in the area was Jacob's family; 3) in 1841 Jacob granted power of attorney to a Jesse Mansfield in Logan County, Kentucky. 72 This is where Jacob and Sally were living at the time. 73 Logan County Genealogical Society.

22 6. Mary Ann (GRAMMER) DOUGHERTY born ca Jacob and Sally (BARKER) GRAMMER 80 Logan County, Kentucky married March 24, George DOUGHERTY Union County, Illinois died by June 13, Union County, Illinois George DOUGHERTY 83 born ca Charles and Elizabeth (WOLF) DOUGHERTY Marietta, Ohio married 1) August 3, 1820 Rachel HUNSAKER Union County, Illinois 2) March 24, 1835 Mary Ann GRAMMER Union County, Illinois 3) June 13, 1854 Mrs. Elizabeth Margaret (QUIGLEY) Union County, Illinois WHITLOCK 85 4) July 22, Mrs. Samila Leach (HAMILTON). HINESLY Union County, Illinois died July 28, Union County, Illinois 88 George, as well as the other Doughertys, was a Dunker. 89 He came to Union County by 1823, when he was mentioned in the Commissioners Court records. George was the brother of Lt. Governor John Dougherty. 90 Dougherty family tradition has it that George was a doctor. This is supported by the fact that the estate papers for Senator John s son, John Jr., included a bill 80 Parentage based upon a) the marriage of a Mary Grammer in Union County, Illinois; b) probate records of William and the 1865 partion of Senator John s estate rule out Mary as a daughter of either one; c) Jacob was the only remaining Grammer of the appropriate age to be Mary s father; d) Mary Ann Grammer joined the Clear Creek Baptist Church in Union County, Illinois, along with Jacob and his family, at the time of their migration to Illinois; e) Jacob left his estate to George and also made him executor; and f) Mary Ann s birthplace on the 1850 census is Kentucky, which was where Jacob was at the time (the other brothers were in Illinois by then). 81 Miss/Mrs. (both ways on certificate) Mary Grammer to George Dougherty, March 24, 1835, Kinneth Hargrave, J.P., Book 1, page 46, certificate George remarried on this date. 83 Much of the information on George is from the Nicolaides article in the Spring 1991 Saga. When I attempted to contact Mr. Nicolaides, a nursing home employee replied that Mr. Nicolaides is no longer capable of discussing the article. 84 Nicolaides, p. 37. Verified by 1850 census. 85 Margaret had married William C. Whitlock in William C. Whitlock was Jacob's neighbor and both he and Margaret witnessed Jacob's will. In 1846, William Whitlock was in possession of Jacob's 40 acres. 86 George stated that he was 69. He may have fibbed about his age a bit; he had to be at least 75. Samila was Probate file D Buried in an unmarked grave in the Kimmel (Dunker?) Cemetery. 89 A group of Union County people, all assumed to be Dunkers, bought a slave from Jonathon Husky (wasn t there a murder trial in Union County involving someone named Huskey?) and then freed the slave (Union County Deed Book C-3, pages ). George s signature is on one of the documents. 90 Most of the information on George Dougherty and his family is from the GSSI Saga XVIII/1, page 37, and XVIII/2, page 3. I have not verified any information personally. George's wife is listed as Mary Jane Grammer Dougherty. Prepared by Penny McIntire (815)

23 dated December 28, 1853, for $3.00 of medicine dispensed by George Dougherty to John Jr. s wife, Elizabeth. 91 George s wife Mary Ann was received into Clear Creek Baptist Church in Union County on May 23, 1829, along with her parents and sister Lucinda Whitaeker. She continued to attend the Baptist Church even after her marriage to George, a Dunker, although that attendance may have been sparse. On November 27, 1841, she and her mother (and Susanna Barker, probably related to the mother) were cited by the church, apparently for non-attendance. On December 25, the church minutes reported that the women intended to attend our church meetings as soon as they could. 92 Mary Ann and George may had the following children (those with unknown birth dates could have been with George s other wives): Jacob, born 1836 in Illinois, probably named after his Grammer grandfather, married Sarah?, had a daughter Mary Jane after its two grandmothers. Nancy J., born 1837 in Illinois, married 1)? Nelson, 2)? Simmerman. George Jr., born 1840 in Illinois; died on leave from the Civil War at home on May 22, Charles, born 1844, married Lucinda Tripp on September 30, 1866, in Union County. Manerva, born?, married? Wigle. Margaret, born?, married Benjamin Wigle, died before 1877, leaving several children. Alice Josephine, married? Peel. John, born?, died after George s death in George and Rachel may have had the following children: Samuel, born 1831 Illinois. Martha, born 1833 Illinois, married William M. Whitaker, March 5, 1854 in Union County. George and Margaret may have had the following children: William C., born ca. 1854, (perhaps Margaret was already pregnant with him when she married George in 1854, making it logical that the baby was named after his biological father William C. Whitlock, Margaret s deceased first husband) Amanda E., married Thomas E. Walker on July 24, 1873 in Union County. Eliza, born ca in Illinois. An Eliza Dougherty married John W. Norton on January 15, 1878 in Union County. George died July 28, 1877, and was buried in an unmarked grave in the Kimmel/Dunkard cemetery. His Union County probate file 93 names his widow Samila L. Dougherty and his children John, Minerva Wigle, Martha Whitaker, Nancy Nelson, Charles, Jacob, and Eliza Dougherty. It also names the children of his deceased daughter Margaret Wigle and the child of her daughter Amanda 91 UCI probate box # The Saga,vol.

24 Walker, 94 also deceased. When George died, he owned an 80 acre parcel of land about a mile west of the Kimmel cemetery. His estate was appraised at $531.90, and included, among numerous other articles, one bookcase and books, $2.50 and lot of pill bags and bottles, worth $.50, somewhat supporting the family tradition that George Dougherty was a doctor. 95 George s obituary reads: 96...He was an upright, honorable citizen, a good man in every sense of the word, respected and esteemed by all, young and old. By occupation he was a farmer and for many years resided on his farm two miles west of town He was a man of firm moral and political principles and although quiet and unassuming, with such men as John R. Naill, dcd., and Judge Daniel Hileman, he watched and directed the growth and prosperity of our county in the days of auld lang syne. For twenty-eight years his name has appeared on the books of the gazette as a subscriber who was never in arrears. He had a large family connection in theis county, all wealthy respectable citizens. In the death of Mr. Dougherty, Union County loses another of her old landmarks and one whose place will be hard to fill. It may be truly said that no one ever enjoyed the confidence and respect of his neighbors and friends to a greater degree than did Uncle George Dougherty UCI census, #945.

The letters provide a wonderful insight into the period. Perrin states that a George Dougherty s wife Mary had the maiden name of Wilson. According to Darrel Dexter, this reference is to a younger Mr. and Mrs. George Dougherty, not ours. 94 Other researchers feel that Amanda is George's daughter, not his granddaughter. 95 Nicolaides, page Nicolaides, page This would put his farm near where the various Tripp families lived.
